Mary Sue Maurer was elected to the
Calabasas City Council in 2005. She brought with her an extensive
history in community activism, public service and business experience.
She is committed to serving the residents of Calabasas in a spirit of
collaboration and a commitment to the values that make the City a
wonderful place to live and work. These include protection of open
space, creeks and the region’s watershed; ensuring high quality public
and private schools; maintaining a low-crime record; providing ample
recreational opportunities for all especially seniors and special needs
residents; and supporting a thriving business community where Calabasans
can eat, play, and shop locally.
Mary Sue’s community volunteerism began
when she moved to Calabasas in 1996. While working and raising her
three sons, Mary Sue has been actively involved in the Calabasas
community. Mary Sue was a co-founder of Middle School Now, a
successful effort to build A.C. Stelle Middle School to alleviate
overcrowding at A.E. Wright Middle School. She served as an original
appointee to the Calabasas Education Commission, the parent
representative on the Yes on Measure E ballot argument for the
successfully passed parcel tax initiative, an active member of the
Chaparral PFC, and a vice president of the Greater Mulwood Homeowners
Association.
Mary Sue’s public service career began
when she served as Deputy Press Secretary for California Insurance
Commissioner John Garamendi during his first term. From there she
focused her attention on our local environment, where she worked in
government affairs and public education for the Santa Monica Bay
Restoration Commission. Mary Sue continued her environmental work
during the mid-1990s as a consultant for PS Enterprises, an
environmental and social issues firm, where she managed the city of Los
Angeles’ extensive storm water pollution prevention and education
campaign, disseminating important pollution prevention information to
manufacturers, business owners and homeowners.
In 2001, she became Field Deputy for
Assemblymember Fran Pavley, serving as the Assemblymember’s designee on
the boards of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Santa
Monica Bay Restoration Commission.
Mary Sue’s business experience includes
serving as staff on the eclectic movie service, the Z Channel, as a
public relations executive with The Walt Disney Company, and as head of
philanthropy programs for Blue Shield of California. |
